Got my cobb today and am a bit bored at work. Don't have time to take the car to the workshop as it's the weekend but want to try to upgrade the TCM myself to see what the fuss is about in the meantime

I want to upgrade to LC5 and was wondering anyone know which map name and transmission type to select?

Map Name :

* Level 1 - 3300 RPM

* Level 2 - 3700 RPM

* Stock Style LC2 Logic

Transmission Type:

JF04B JF09D JF09E JW91A JW91B JW91D

When you go to install the TCM it will tell you which software version you have, then install KB15B (I think thats the code off the top of my head) LC4 VDC OFF V101...or at least thats what we like to use. Its nice :)

Once finished -

Set CC and TP values to zero then perform a Clutch Gear Relearn.

Set CC and TP to desired after that. Start with CC +1, +1, and TP 0, 0

Did the upgrade to LC4 with VDC OFF as recommended by Martin and it is a day and night difference to the LC2. Smoother shifts especially from 1st to 2nd and no more shuddering when taking off slowly or slowing to a near stop and then moving off again. Will play around with LC5 this week to see what the difference (if any is).

Hmmmmm The bunny hopping and mild shudder I get in 1st when cold is starting to bug me - as well as reversing the bl00dy thing up a slightly inclined driveway to get out of the garage is doing my head in trying to find the right acc balance point so that I don't launch into the street, or bunny hop or get that clunking clutch slip noise....

What to do what to do... I wanna keep my warranty, but I hate this shit..

CC = Clutch Capacity for Odd and Even gears.

Adjustments range from -7 to +7 and linearly increase clutch apply pressure when shifting.

Normally from the factory these are set to 0 (right in the middle)

On a moderately powered up car setting these to +2 +2 is a good step

In a high powered car then +4 +4 is the go.

I dont go much over that as its hard on the seals and gears to run massive pressures.

Its a feel thing.

TP = Touch Point for Odd and Even gears

Touch Point is best explained as the prepositioning or pre-load on the clutches.

Adding more Odd TP will give more creep in 1st gear at idle speed

I normally leave these as close to 0 as to get the desired driving result

Hope that helps :)

haha how will lc4/5 improve the clutch take up point though?

i'm waiting on my code to upgrade the accessport - can be done through the ap manager now rather than having to send it back to US

i'm hoping the newer launch programs have better control on wheel slip, as 4000k lc will just dry my tyres even more than my current lc3

I was bored and flashed from LC4 to LC5. Maybe it's a psychological thing but I actually like LC4 better for day to day driving. It makes less sound and was a bit smoother during start/stop? I heard LC4 had more slip in the clutch, is this the reason?

I have since reflashed back to LC4 from LC5

Ok. Just followed these instructions precisely. Now I'll take it for a spin and see what the difference is. Still CC at +3 otherwise there is to much slip.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
